Price was at his very best and he incredibly raced into a 5-0 lead.
But Littler was finally able to prevent a whitewash by winning the sixth leg and he then celebrated “sarcastically” in brilliant fashion.
With a beaming smile, the 17-year-old pumped his fists to huge cheers from the crowd.
Price also saw the funny side as the duo acknowledged each other.
But the Iceman did not let up and it was the only leg Littler got.
Price’s win saw him pick up the trophy and a cheque for £20,000.
And PDC commentator Dan Dawson described the win as a “lesson Down Under for Littler.”
But Price was magnanimous , saying: “I think Luke missed a couple of doubles, probably could have won another two or three legs and then it’s a different story.

“It’s happened to me in the past and I’m glad it was for me tonight.
“He missed a couple of doubles and it looks like I’ve kind of runaway with it. It was a tough game.”
Littler added: “Happy to make the final on my Australian Darts Masters debut, the rest is history. Congrats to Gezzy and thanks everyone for all the support.”
Both players showed their respect to each other at the end of the game, shaking hands and exchanging kind words.
Littler got to the final by beating Dimitri Van den Bergh 7-6 in a thrilling semi-final and Michael Smith 6-4 in the previous round.
Price beat Peter Wright 7-6 in the last four after coming through as clash against home favourite Damon Heta 6-4 on his road to victory.
